Will be running Win XP SP2 in achi mode only choices in the bios are ide and achi but rather use the achi. I downloaded a few different version of the files on this site but some down loads come up empty and the one that does xp installation don't find anything on the floppy disk

If you want to get Windows XP running in AHCI mode, I recommend to create a Windows XP CD with integrated "Universal 32bit Intel textmode driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando".>Here< is the guide about how to do it.

Zitat von Lance King im Beitrag #433I did notice on the list for the ich10s there isn't a ich10 6 port 3a22 would that be a problem since that the driver that windows 7 have install for it to operate on it?

The Intel SATA AHCI Controller with the DeviceID DEV_3A22 is supported by the original and by the modded Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006.

Please give me your feedback regarding your experience with the new modded and signed Intel RST(e) drivers.Note:Due to their digital signature these drivers can be installed onto Win8.1 or Win10 without the necessity to disable the "Driver Signature Enforcement". Within the start post you will find a short guide about how to get these drivers properly installed.

Good luck with the latest and freshly customized and digitally signed Intel AHCI/RAID drivers!Dieter (alias Fernando)

Zitat von ezy im Beitrag #426Is it possible to remove the "DEV_XXXX (added by Fernando)" after the controller name?

Yes, you can remove these additional informations by opening and editing the related INF files, but if you do it with a signed driver, it will loose its digital signature.

ZitatI think it's unnecessary since we already have your credits on the signature and that makes it kind of no go, at least in my opinion.

I do not agree with you.For me it makes sense to add a) the DeviceID to the Controller name (because only the DeviceID identifies the correct Controller model, the device names are often meaningless or even misleading) andb) the name of the person, who had modded the driver (this has nothing to do with credits, but makes clear, that the related device is not supported by the original driver, which has been delivered by the manufacturer of the device).

I was just talking about it appearing on the device manager, this is the only modded driver by you that adds that to the name. If we want to check the vendor/device we can easily go to details tab and check it there.

IMO your signature is more than enough just like all of others drivers you modded has, having that on the device manager just make it uglier. But those are your modded drivers and you do whatever you want, i'm just giving out my opinion.

Hi Fernando, according msahci.sys source code included with the WDK 7.1 could be a solution to avoid the limitation placed by many manufacturers who used the ICH8M chipset on their laptops. This limitation is to write the record CAP.ISS With 1h (Limit speed negotiation to Generation 1 communication rate, or SATA 1) using the BIOS. I saw that msahci.sys read, modifies and rewrites that record. If we change CAP.ISS (sctl.SPD in the source code) to 0h before writing I think it will be solved. Could you help us?

Hello, I faced some problem with the mini PC made by small Chinese company and based on Celeron J1900 processor. The device goes without any drivers. I was able to find and install almost all of them, but failed to realize which one I need for ATA controller (that is recognized in Windows Device Manager as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F21&CC_0101). I have installed 120 Gb Intel 530 Series SSD but the system did not recognized it in AHCI mode, so I had to switch to IDE one to install Windows. My question is: is there any way to force my SSD to work in AHCI mode now, after Windows (8.1 SL) is installed? And how can I find the proper driver to be able to make SSD work in AHCI mode? I'll appreciate any help...

These are the HardwareIDs of the Intel BayTrail SATA IDE Controller. This indicates, that your system has an Intel BayTrail Chipset and is currently running in IDE mode.

Have you tried to get Win8.1 or Win10 installed in AHCI mode? According to my knowledge this should work.

ZitatMy question is: is there any way to force my SSD to work in AHCI mode now, after Windows (8.1 SL) is installed?

I generally to not recommend toswitch the SATA mode from within a running Windows OS. It is better to do a clean install of the OS in AHCI mode.

ZitatAnd how can I find the proper driver to be able to make SSD work in AHCI mode?

Intel has never released an AHCI driver, which supports Intel BayTrail SATA Controllers running in AHCI mode. So the only possibility I see is to let Win8.1 or Win10 use the generic MS AHCI driver named STORAHCI.SYS.

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #434Have you tried to get Win8.1 or Win10 installed in AHCI mode? According to my knowledge this should work.

Yes, I tried (Win 8.1). But at very beginning of installation Windows "said" that it can't run without specific driver. I guessed that it probably about AHCI, aborted installation and went to Intel's site from another PC. The only pack of drivers that I found there was f6flpy-x64.zip. I unpacked it and put the stuff onto USB-stick with Windows distributive. When installation asked me once again for that driver I pointed it to the folder with those unpacked drivers but with no luck. Just got a message that it didn't find any appropriate driver in the folder... Then I aborted installation process second time, re-loaded, enter BIOS and switched to IDE mode. After that, installation went smooth

Please advise: if I will do upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win10 from USB-stick and put the below mentioned file (STORACHI.SYS), will it be OK or I should better format SSD (using Intel SSD Toolbox software?) and try to make clean install of Win 8.1 again with that file added to installation USB-stick?

Just scanned my system and didn't find such file... Should I take it from somewhere at Microsoft site or somewhere else?Thank you for your time spent on the persons like me :)

UPD: BTW, are there any Intel ATA controller drivers to work with Bail Trail processors, instead of Microsoft generic ones that are now installed on that my mini-PC?
